I think it has to do with the way it's handling the relative links.
you might want to try it as cgi="../calendar/homepage.cgi"
or cgi="/~clienttest1/calendar/homepage.cgi"
from apache docs for Module mod_include
http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include.html
exec
The exec command executes a given shell command or CGI script. The
IncludesNOEXEC Option disables this command completely. The valid attributes
are:
cgi
The value specifies a (%-encoded) URL relative path to the CGI script. If
the path does not begin with a (/), then it is taken to be relative to the
current document. The document referenced by this path is invoked as a CGI
script, even if the server would not normally recognize it as such. However,
the directory containing the script must be enabled for CGI scripts (with
ScriptAlias or the ExecCGI Option).
The CGI script is given the PATH_INFO and query string (QUERY_STRING) of the
original request from the client; these cannot be specified in the URL path.
The include variables will be available to the script in addition to the
standard CGI environment.
If the script returns a Location: header instead of output, then this will
be translated into an HTML anchor.
The include virtual element should be used in preference to exec cgi.
cmd
The server will execute the given string using /bin/sh. The include
variables are available to the command.
